Carnivals are the best way to relish and rejoice the culture
of a particular country, and to bring large number of people together at one
platform. It is a cultural celebration, which connects people in one color i.e.
the color of love, passion and enjoyment. There are various carnivals that are
celebrated in different countries and cities of the world throughout the year
in various colorful and attractive ways.
Baltimore Caribbean Carnival is one beautiful and impressive
example of carnivals, celebrated delightfully in the true spirit of
togetherness and ecstasy. The carnival is world famous for its cultural
association, as it a beautiful combination of two carnivals i.e. Baltimore
Carnival and Washington DC Carnival. The Washington DC carnival is united and
blended with Baltimore’s festival to make it one grand cultural fiesta. DC
carnival is the popular and the fastest growing carnival in North America, characterizing
the true Caribbean culture and encouraging the community participation. Also,
for more than 20 years, it is a popular summer festival, attracting and
welcoming people from all over the world and featuring 30 participating groups
that represent the Caribbean, Latin America and the Diaspora in colorful
feather costumes. These vibrant costumes show-off distinct themes and people
dancing to the melodious sound of African, Latin, Calypso, Soca, Haitian,
Reggae and Steelband music.
Baltimore/Washington Caribbean Carnival is officially known
as “Baltimore Washington One Carnival”, and it is celebrated annually to encourage
cross-cultural programs within Washington, DC areas and communities. The
primary reason for celebrating the two carnivals as one grand carnival
celebration is to expand Caribbean culture and to engage more and more people
in the lively celebration. Another reason for this association is to educate
youths, children and adults about the Caribbean art, craft and culture, and
their importance. Street parades, music, dance, colorful costumes, food, art
and craft and entertainment are the major highlights of the carnival
celebration.
This year, the grand carnival festivity begins on July 11
and will end on July 12, 2015. Moving ahead, the celebration stars with Caribbean-style
parade and goes on with other festive celebrations that exhibit live music and
entertainment, scrumptious Caribbean food stalls, dance performances in vibrant
feather-decorated costumes and much more. Apart from these performances,
carnival costumes made and adorned with quills are also the major attraction of
this Caribbean festival. Wide varieties of quills are bought and used to make
spectacular costumes.
